Why Not Pink?

Pink is not just for women. Men can rock this shade, just as well.

In today’s world, fashion is not only a term; it is a representation of you, your personality. How you carry yourself clearly speaks volume about what you feel, what you think and believe. Hence the men are still clichéd about not wearing pastel colours like pink and peach. The answer to why men run away from pink and pastels is in the psychology, hence we approached the right experts to understand the psyche better. “There is a huge perception that egos of men get affected while wearing warmer or pastel colours. The fact is that most of the times the egos are a result of the socialization. It has to do more with their gender identity, and association with colours than feeling personally offended or attracted to certain colours” says Dr Aditi Kumar, counsellor and psychologist, on what affects the men’s ego on accepting pinks and pastels.
